Bai Ying's words shocked the Bai couple.
Bai Yanfeng was like a powder keg that had been lit. He jumped up suddenly and shouted hysterically, "How dare you!" His voice was sharp and urgent, veins bulging on his forehead, and his face was full of anger and anxiety, as if Bai Ying would really throw that dangerous ball of flame at Bai Di in the next second.
Looking at their expressions, Bai Ying's lips curled into an even more mocking smile, a smile as cold as the winter wind, carrying a chilling edge. "It seems you are now aware of the power of my flames. Yes... after all, it's a flame that can burn even the bones of a dragon to ashes, so burning a person would be a piece of cake, wouldn't it?"
She slightly raised her chin, her eyes filled with disdain, her voice neither hurried nor slow, yet like sharp blades piercing straight at these people.
"But then again, guess what I would do if I wanted someone to disappear? Would I push her into a river to drown her, or would I burn her to ashes so you would never see her again?"
As Bai Ying spoke, she gently twirled the ball of flame in her hand that emitted a ghostly blue light. The flame seemed to have a life of its own, leaping and flickering with her movements, scorching the surrounding air and causing it to distort slightly.
Bai Ying's words left the Bai couple speechless. They opened their mouths, their throats feeling like they were choked by something, wanting to refute, but unable to think of any words to respond.
After a long while, Bai Yanfeng finally managed to find his voice. He stiffened his neck and said loudly, "Perhaps you didn't want to kill Xiao Di. You were just angry that she was more popular with us, and you just wanted to teach her a lesson." As he spoke, he kept nodding, as if he was encouraging himself, and the more he spoke, the more he felt that his words made sense.
Bai Ying then looked at the Bai couple: "Do you think so too?"
Bai Ying frowned slightly, but still said, "We've raised Xiao Di for so many years, don't I know? Xiao Di doesn't lie."
Bai Ying looked at them, the light in her eyes gradually dimming, replaced by endless disappointment.
She suddenly realized that her parents had actually "died" the day they gave up looking for her.
The Bai couple in front of me only have Bai Di in their hearts, leaving no room for me at all. They are no longer the parents I once longed for when I was a child, but have completely become Bai Di's parents.
Bai Ying could understand their favoritism towards Bai Di; after all, Bai Di had lived by their side for so many years, and it was inevitable that they had developed a deep affection for him.
However, they wouldn't even give me a chance to explain, and without clarifying the truth, they firmly placed me in the position of the murderer. This feeling of being unjustly suspected and wronged by one's closest relatives is truly unbearable.
Bai Ying glanced coldly at the white flute suspended in mid-air, then at the group of people before her. After a moment, she waved her hand lightly, and the spiritual energy receded rapidly like a tide. Without the support of spiritual energy, the white flute, like a kite with a broken string, plummeted to the ground with a dull thud.
Upon seeing this, Bai Yanfeng's face instantly contorted with rage, and he was about to unleash a torrent of curses. However, before he could utter a word, a Qiankun Mirror radiating a soft glow suddenly appeared above everyone's heads. In an instant, a bright screen of light spread down from the mirror, projecting everything that had just happened onto everyone's view without reservation.
The moment Bai Di saw the Qiankun Mirror, his face turned deathly pale.
Her eyes widened in disbelief; she never imagined that Bai Ying would have prepared the Qiankun Mirror in advance.
She cried out, "No!"
However, the scene inside the Qiankun Mirror had already been displayed in front of everyone.
In the scene, Bai Di accompanies Bai Ying to the location of the Bai clan patriarch, her smile sweet and her eyes full of warmth. Anyone who sees her would think she's a kind and gentle younger sister. But the moment Bai Ying is summoned into the room by the Bai clan patriarch, her expression suddenly changes. Her previously sweet face instantly twists into a grotesque smile, her lips curving into a sinister grin, and her eyes flashing with a malevolent light. She appears as if she's become a completely different person, sending chills down one's spine.
When Bai Ying, Zhou Ying, and Bai Yanfeng witnessed this scene, their eyes widened in disbelief, their faces filled with shock and astonishment.
In their minds, Bai Di had always been well-behaved, sensible, kind, and lovely. They had never seen such a terrifying expression on her face before, and this huge contrast was hard for them to accept for a while.
When Bai Ying came out of the room, Bai Di instantly reverted to her sweet and charming appearance, chirping happily like a little bird as she walked beside Bai Ying, her face full of ingratiating smiles, but a hint of barely perceptible resentment flashed in her eyes.
In contrast, Bai Ying seemed somewhat absent-minded. She held a communication talisman in her hand, seemingly engrossed in a conversation with someone, barely responding to Bai Di's enthusiastic gestures beside her.
Bai Yanfeng was still indignant about Bai Di's plight, but the next moment, the content of the scene struck him like a thunderbolt.
Taking advantage of Bai Ying's inattention, Bai Di suddenly slapped herself hard in the chest from a concealed angle. A look of pain appeared on Bai Ying's face, and then her body leaned back and fell straight into the water.
Even though Bai Ying didn't release it, they already knew what happened afterward.
They all rushed out and accused Bai Ying without even asking what happened.
The members of the Bai clan initially thought it was just a simple dispute, but they never expected to witness such a spectacular self-directed and self-acted drama. Their faces were filled with surprise and astonishment, and they immediately began to discuss it amongst themselves.
"I really didn't expect Bai Di to have directed and acted in such a big show."
"Yes, I was really fooled just now. I didn't expect it to be an act by her. No wonder Bai Ying and Senior Zhou Ying accused Bai Ying without even knowing the facts."
"But it's too much to accuse Bai Ying without even understanding the situation. Especially Bai Yanfeng, he's so biased. Bai Di is his sister, but isn't Bai Ying also his sister? By blood, Bai Ying is his real sister. If Bai Ying wasn't that strong, wouldn't she have really been injured by Bai Yanfeng? It wasn't her who hurt Bai Di, yet she was slandered and targeted by Bai Yanfeng like that. Bai Ying is so pitiful."
The clan members chattered amongst themselves, making Bai Ying and the others blush with embarrassment.
Bai Di clenched her fingers tightly, her face filled with anger. She never imagined Bai Ying could be so despicable.
But what she didn't know was that Bai Ying had seen through her disguise from the very beginning, so how could she not be wary of her?
